Change the hostname of a server from MP.

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

I have a HP UX 11.11 (rp8420) system, when i changed the hostname of npar server and everything is fine. But when i connecte with the management console (MP), it shows me the old hostname. Can anyone help me how to change the name of server for management console. and i see the new hostname of my server when i log in through any terminal.
and i am try to Connect to the MP port, then type CM, then LC. but also is not working.
becuase all question about the MP IP address and hostname, ....

Tanks

So you don't want to change the systems *hostname* you want to change a nPar's "Partition Name" yes?

So get the partition number in question from

parstatus -P

then change it using:

parmodify -p n -P "new name"

where n = the partition number and "new name" is the new partition name in quotes if it contains a space. You can give this partition name the same name as your hostname, but it can also be something different (remember a nPar partition cvan contain may vPars so in that case giving it the same name as a hostname of one of the partitions can be confusing)

Shalom,

Hostname needs to be changed in the vpar and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Was both done?
